The year's highlights included:
- Solid 4.9% growth in sales of corrective lenses, led by the
effectiveness of Essilor's networks and the success of new products,
notably the new generation of Transitions(R) VI variable-tint lenses
and the new Crizal(R) anti-reflective lenses.
- Pursuit of the external growth strategy with the acquisition
of a minority or majority stake in 27 companies, including Satisloh,
the world leader in optical manufacturing solutions for prescription
laboratories (see "27 Acquisitions in 2008" below).
- Continued strong profitability with contribution from
operations at 17.9% of revenue (18.2% excluding the Satisloh
acquisition) and attributable net profit at 12.4%.
- Continued financial solidity. Despite a major investment
program, gearing remained at less than 5%.
